Location quotient-based travel costs for determining accessibility changes
Journal of Transport Geography, 2021Abstract Accessibility is not a static feature because it is affected by a large number of factors, such as changes in transport infrastructure, the spatial distribution of human activities, and their interdependence. In this study, we examine the role of location quotient-based travel costs as the travel impedance function in accessibility ...

Focal Location Quotients: Specification and Applications
Geographical Analysis, 2012Location quotients (LQs) are commonly used descriptive statistics in spatial analysis. They are not directly affected by neighbor relationships, and their calculation ignores spatial information. This article computes LQs as focal, rather than strictly local, functions by incorporating the spatial structure of the observations in the reference group in

The Annals of Regional Science, 2008
Economic base analysis suggests that export expansion should be the primary engine of regional economic growth and the most commonly employed approach to identifying specialization is the location quotient (LQ). Similarly, the law of comparative advantage represents a conceptual framework for determining the type of trade.

Clustering: Spatial Autocorrelation and Location Quotients
2018Geographic concentration of employment types frequently yields clusters exhibiting moderate-to-strong positive spatial autocorrelation. Such clusters based upon geographic proximity, and frequently quantified with location quotients, also can relate to local indices of spatial autocorrelation, such as LISA and the Getis-Ord statistics.

The location quotient as an estimator of industrial concentration
Regional Science and Urban Economics, 2012Abstract We construct the location quotient (LQ) from a discrete data generating process and formally test its statistical properties. First, we show that the LQ is typically unbiased, but exhibits finite sample bias when assuming a Poisson distribution. Second, we determine the accuracy of statistical tests, which depends of both sample size as well

Location quotients, export industries and shift-share analysis
1996Identification of export industries and forecasting growth potentials of those industries for a specific region are the most important procedures in the empirical analysis of a regional economy. If we have sufficient data of input-output relations as in the case of quite a number of regions (states) in Japan, the identification of export industries is ...

Location Quotient EIO-LCA Method for Carbon Emission Analysis
2012Promoting environmentally conscious energy policies to reduce carbon emissions is a mutual duty of the international community. Several cities or government regions have implemented strategies and means to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. New efforts focus on introducing green policies, which reduce the largest contributors of the carbon footprint in ...
